Idris Elba cover Maxim magazine and he is the first man EVER to grace the cover of the prestigious magazine...
Most people thought that the day a man would cover Maxim, it would be Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, or somebody white.
See what the magazine said about their decision to feature the star actor on the cover:
We've never in US Maxim history had a man on the cover solo," Maxim's new editor-in-chief Kate Lanphear told Racked about her decision to put Elba on the cover of the September issue. "This is the very first time, and there was no one else in the world more badass that Idris. For me, he was really the perfect embodiment of what I think the new 'Maximman' is," Lanphear said. "He's multi-dimensional, he's complex, he's sophisticated, but he's down to earth. It was funny when on set, I was like, 'Is there anything this guy can't do?'
